• Xiao Ying ordered the Black Tower Clan to prepare for battle, concealed their strongest weapons and puppets, and sent Blue Wolf into hiding with the Godslaying Spear.

• Guihai Canglan deduced that Golden Light High Person was likely a primordial spirit rather than his true body and suggested that Blue Wolf might be able to kill him; Xiao Ying could not detect any difference.

Xiao Ying and Guihai Canglan realized Golden Light High Person had sent his Daluo Primordial Spirit to watch the Galan Immortal Warship and tried unsuccessfully to lure him aboard.

As Golden Light High Person prepared to strike again, Xiao Ying’s concealed spear emerged from the chaos and threatened him.

• Golden Light High Person used the Dao-Splitting Golden Blade to shatter the formations, and Guihai Canglan recognized that he had obtained the White Platinum Immortal Emperor’s inheritance.
• Golden Light High Person unleashed the White Emperor Golden Sovereign Slash, draining the warship’s formations and spiritual energy with a blow that split the sea.

As the warship drifted toward Black Rock Island, Xiao Ying urged caution because he feared encountering Shi Nanqing again.

The battle drew several fleets and powerful observers, who were shocked to learn that Xiao Ying was only at the late-stage spirit shaman realm.

• Xiao Ying’s Kunpeng defeated Taishu Jingping and knocked her into the sea, stunning the observers.
• Taishu Jingping erupted from the sea as a Golden Roc several thousand zhang long and charged at Xiao Ying with her full power.
